Thank
you
for
choosing
Harman
Kardon.
You
now
own
a
superb
piece
of
high
fidelity
equipment.
Used
properly,
it
will
provide
you
with
thousands
of
hours
of
sound
and
video
enjoyment.
Even
if
you
have
experience
with
high
fidelity
components,
we
nevertheless
ask
you
to
read
and
carefully
follow
the
instruc-
tions
in
this
manual.
It
will
insure
a
successful
partnership
between
you
and
your
new
Harman
Kardon
receiver.
NOTE:
Because
this
manual
has
been
designed
to
cover
the
hook-up
and
operation
of
both
the
hk880Vxi
and
hk990Vxi
receivers,
some
instructions
may
not
be
applicable
for
both
models.
Information
that
is
specific
only
to
one
or
the
other
of
the
receivers
is
noted
in
bold
face.
For
example:

XI
Receiver
Controls
The
tone
controls
are
recommended
primarily
as
a
method
of
gently
correcting
tonal
deficiencies
(or
overabundances)
in
the
overall
sound
of
your
system.
Thus
an
overly
shrill
recording
or
“boomy”
room
acoustics
may
be
improved
with
a
slight
decrease
in
treble
and
bass,
respectively.
Smaller
loudspeakers
lacking
in
low
end
may
be
enhanced
with
bass
boost.
An
indistinct
vocal
may
be
made
more
clear
by
“boosting”
midrange
through
the
reduction
of
both
treble
and
bass
controls.
Another
excellent
tone
control
use
is
for
the
enhancement
of
video
sound
from
your
VCR
or
TV
tuner.
Here
you
may
plug
a
pair
of
headphones
for
listening
inde-
pendent
of
either
set
of
speaker
outputs.
Both
the
hk880Vxi
and
hk990Vxi
allow
you
to turn
off
your
speakers
so
that
you
can
listen
to
the
HEADPHONE
output
only.
Independent
selection
buttons
are
provided
for
two
sets
of
loudspeakers.
You
may
press
one
or
the
other,
or
both.
If
neither
button
is
pressed
in,
sound
will
only
be
routed
to
the
HEADPHONE
JACK
(2).
NOTE:
Please
consult
APPENDIX
|
at
the
end
of
this
manual
before
you
connect
two
sets
of
loudspeakers
to
the
hk880Vxi
or
hk990Vxi.
BASS
and
TREBLE
(4)
tone
controls
have
been
designed
to
only
affect
the
sound
below
400Hz
and
above
2000Hz,
respectively.
Their
design
allows
corrective
adjustments
of
up
to
+10dB
at
the
lowest
and
highest
octaves
without
affecting
midrange
performance.
:
The
BALANCE
control
(5)
is
used
to
distribute
sound
between
right
and
left
speakers.
It
is
especially
useful
if
your
main
listening
position
is
closer
to
one
speaker
than
the
other.
In
this
case,
rotate
the
control
so
more
sound
is
coming
from
the
speaker
farthest
away
from
you.
Your
new
Harman
Kardon
receiver
allows
you
to
actually
route
and
switch
and
dub
between
several
VCR’s
or
other
video
sources,
besides
providing
you
with
flexibility
in
tape
playback
and
recording.
This
is
done
by
selecting
one
of
the
VCR
or
TAPE
positions
on
the
VCR/TAPE
MONITOR
(6)
selector.
NOTE:
It is
very
important
to
make
sure
that
the
VCR/TAPE
MONITOR
knob
is
not
left
switched
to
VCR,
TAPE
or
VCR/
TAPE
inputs
after
you
finish
listening
to
a
cassette
or
watching
a
video
tape.
If
it
is,
you
will
be
left
with
silence
and
won’t
be
able
to
listen
to
CD’s,
records,
FM,
etc.
until
the
VCR/TAPE
MONITOR
switch
is
returned
to
SOURCE
or
REMOTE.
